Learn Skateboard Tricks

The truth is that the vast majority of skaters will never get past the most basic of tricks, before giving up and moving on to something else. It will take most skaters a couple of months to learn how to Ollie, and then another couple of months before they land their first kick flip.

Do you really want to be waiting around that long?

Luckily there is a step-by-step master guide that will help you learn skateboard tricks easily and quickly. This is a breakthrough system that is clear, concise, and easy to follow.

Before you learn how to do a kick flip it is very important that you are confident with your ollie's, if you can't ollie you won't be able to kick flip.

Some people say you are better off learning how to kick flip while moving, however, I recommend that you first try it on grass or carpet, as you're less likely to hurt yourself this way.

Stand with your feet in the ollie position, your front foot should be about 45° to your back foot, this is to make it easier to kick the board into a flip.
Pop the board into an ollie to get as much height as you can, the higher the better as it will make it easier for the board to spin.

Now move your front foot up towards the nose and out, flicking the board down into a flip as you go. This is a very important part, don't just flick your foot down and straight out as you will not land this trick. Your front foot has to go forward before it goes out to make it easier to land.

To make the board flip you only need to flick it gently with your foot, don't try to do this as hard as you can because you don't need much power at all. It will take practice to realise just how easy it is to flick the board.

Your back foot should be up in the air and clear of the board as it is spinning, the board should spin cleanly under your feet and you should be able to land it with your feet just over the trucks.

When you are comfortable with this trick you should start trying a while moving, don't go too fast at first and make sure you're comfortable and your feet are positioned correctly.

Keep practising till you get it, and have fun.
